I understand Bernie’s appeal….

Well…let’s get this straight right up front…Bernie calling himself a “Democratic Socialist” is just a label that I think he should stop using…and the label isn’t descriptive of his policies which are really mainstream dem from only a decade or so ago…and they were normal from a decade or two ago before the dems started their rightward slide under Clinton. With his performance and win in Nevada, he is the front runner right now and I can understand his appeal…after decades of the same old bullshit incremental change that the dems have tried, to be blocked at every turn by unscrupulous repubs, the people on our side are tired of small ideas, are tired of the rich running the show and getting whatever they want, and are tired of us having no voice as business as usual happens to us. What we need now is a big vision and big ideas and that is why young people are flocking to Bernie…they are the ones who are bearing the brunt of inequality and lessened opportunity that the repubs have forced on them…and they want someone who will at least listen and try to make their lives better, something that will never happen with the repubs in charge….and can you imagine a ticket with Bernie and Liz on it? Or Bernie and Amy? Now that would be something to see…Liz taking Pence apart in a debate as Bernie would with the idiot trump….but I am going to harp on this again…vote for the dem no matter who it is…no sulking Bernie Bros or anyone else if you person doesn’t earn the nomination…the stakes are too high for sitting in the corner and not voting because your favorite didn’t get there…and we need the senate back so get the hell out and vote as if your life depends on it…it really does…
